You elect Democrat filth, you get stuff like the Green New Deal shoved down your throats in New Mexico. They had a great governor for eight years, a Republican governor, Susana Martinez. Then the rubes in New Mexico decided to elect a far left Democrat for governor named Michelle Lujan Grisham. Now because the rubes in New Mexico elected Democrats, you have what’s called the “Energy Transition Act” aka the stealth Green New Deal. This law requires that New Mexico move to 100 percent carbon-free energy – the same long-term goal as the “Green New Deal.” Essentially, the people of New Mexico got a hidden carbon tax.

Green groups have effectively rebranded “carbon tax” as “renewable energy mandates” and to get the same results: the end of fossil fuels. Force the elimination of low-cost energy sources and mandate high-cost renewables. Send the bill to customers. Say it’s “for the earth” and voilà, green energy companies get rich.
But no matter what you call it, it’s a tax, plain and simple. Economists agree. The University of Chicago, for example, recently released a report detailing how renewable mandates increase energy prices by 17 percent. The Heritage Foundation believes it might be even worse and could double electric bills on families.
It’s remarkable how such a transformative bill was signed into law so quickly without public input and the myriad impact studies green groups often demand and sue to ensure take place. How was that even possible?
Last week, an investigation by the Associated Press, with assistance from my organization, Power The Future, looked at internal New Mexico government emails around the drafting of their “Energy Transition Act.”
